How to calculate ware price at certain amount

Post by Dominus » Mon, 9. Sep 13, 00:32

I'm trying to maximize my profits selling wares with CLS2 at maximun-1 having monopolized the source. The problem are the lasers thats needs lots of each ware to start production. I can't figure the formula behind resource prices in weapon forges to find the maximun price tha allow the forge to start producing.

Tough one. Best way I know to find out is to sit in the station when it has plenty of resources and watch the amounts change. When a production cycle starts it pulls out the amount required, so for example if e-cell inventory drops from 3854 to 2954 you know it needs 900 for a production cycle. Then when it's out of e-cells come back and bring them up to whatever they need exactly and see what price they will pay at that point.
